Let's look at Koda Kumi, her last single only reached number 4,
Let's look at BoA, Her new single Woo Weekend only reached number 10 on weekly charts
Let's look at Namie Amuro's new single, only reached number 3 selling 23,000 copies first day, while Ayumi sold 35,000 copies first day with Moon/ blossom. These are all people who are considered to be on top of the japanese female music industry. Yui's last single sold 70,000+ copies first week, almost same as Ayumi hamasaki. So for those who say she's barely staying afloat i would like to disagree.
Ps. I would like a mini-album, but i would be afraid for the fact that there wouldnt be much new material to propel people to buy it, and a full album would be nice either way im excited.

Comparing her to other female solo artists is not showing any proof that she's sooo popular. The industry is not just them.
When someone says they are worried a mini-album won't sell well because people may not want to buy it is sensible considering there are other artists in this industry besides namie/kuu/boa/yui etc who take up peoples music interests. And ayu would not be be getting number ones if she were releasing in other weeks (so that part is basically irrelevent)
A mini-album with a couple new tracks would probably be a move that shouldn't be taken after all this hype for these singles. They should give it some time and release a full album with more fresh songs
Mini-album does not equal the next Memorial Address. Plus if she does that it will be a much longer wait to get a full album as well have to go through singles. And in the long run in just less new songs which I don't like
